19 Thy dead [muwth] men shall
live [chayah], together with my dead body [n@belah] shall they arise [quwm].
Awake [quwts] and sing [ranan], ye that dwell [shakan] in
dust [`aphar]: for thy dew [tal] is as the dew [tal] of
herbs ['owrah], and the earth ['erets] shall cast out [naphal] the
dead [rapha']. KJV-Interlinear

19 Your dead shall live; their
bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your
dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead. ESV

This is a resurrection passage in the Old
Testament. The words for dead and dead
body, respectively, ‘muwth,’ and ‘nabelah,’ refer to dead things, carrion,
decaying and putrid.

Live and arise, speak of life, to recover, to repair,
to restore.

And so we have here the declaration of a resurrection,
which will occur in the end times, and at the time when Christ returns in the
Second Advent. That principle is
addressed in verse 21, which is still a couple of studies way.

But for now, the dew of the herbs, is symbolic, of the
rising of herbs in the spring after a long winter where they have every
attribute of appearing dead, dried up and useless. But in the spring the dew, or moisture of the
earth restores their life and they return again to the living.

Our dew, however, is not the dew of the earth but the
dew of the Spirit, which is the dew not of water but of light. And it is the Holy Spirit who will restore
life, when that future time arrives.

The earth, which again holds the dead, will give them
up, and will not be able to prevent their life from returning.

Now, on the one hand we have a Messiah who will come
and secure salvation, and then return again to complete judgment and then
establish the Kingdom of God on earth.

This return means that He has to leave in order to
return.

The return, which we call the Second Advent, will be
the time of the resurrection for Old Testament believers.

Remember that we as church age believers will have our
resurrection at the Rapture, and we will return with Christ at the Second
Advent. The seven years of the Tribulation
separates our resurrection, from the resurrection of the Old Testament
believers.

Christ was the first resurrection, ours is the second
resurrection, the Old Testament believers will be the third resurrection, and
the millennial believers will be the fourth and final resurrection at the end
of the Millennium.

These four resurrections are the first group.

There is a second group, which will be all unbelievers
who will be raised up and brought before Christ at the Great White Throne at
the end of the Millennium, and from there, all those condemned, will be thrown
into the Lake of Fire, forever.

Then, this universe will be destroyed and a new
universe will be created and then eternity will begin and continue forever.

When the resurrection occurs there will be great
singing and celebration, needless to say.

18 We have been with child [harah], we have been in pain [chuwl], we have as it were [k@mow] brought
forth [yalad] wind [ruwach]; we have not wrought [`asah]
any deliverance [y@shuw`ah] in the earth ['erets]; neither [bal] have the
inhabitants [yashab] of the world [tebel] fallen [naphal]. KJV-Interlinear

18 we were pregnant, we writhed, but we have
given birth to wind. We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth, and the
inhabitants of the world have not fallen. ESV

Pregnancy is the fruit of the womb. And though the Israelites, had custody of the
scriptures, and with them, should have evangelized the world. They did not.

Instead they delivered the works of the Levitical priesthood,
which distorted the scriptures, and produces wind, or an emptiness, with no
production, no substance, and certainly no offspring or future.

Works is empty and amounts of an empty womb, giving
birth to nothing, despite all of the pain and anguish of that effort. Man goes to great pains, to accomplish nothing.

And despite the troubles and turmoil that the
Israelites went through, they never learned from their adversity.

And so it is today.
People do not learn. They have adversity, which is intended to teach
humility and the need for God in ones life, but when the trouble ends, they go
right back to their former ways, to repeat again and again, the ways of
emptiness.

Scripture is intended to be taught and through
teaching, learned, and through learning, understood, and through understanding,
usage in ones daily life, and through usage and the repetition so all of these
things, wisdom.

Wisdom, then develops into faith.

Faith is built on the substance of wisdom. Faith is not luck or wishes. Faith is not blind. Faith is built upon the precepts of doctrine,
doctrine learned and understood, and inculcated into the very essence of the soul.

The evils of man do not fall, because man has not
replaced evil with truth, because man does not pursue truth, but rather pursues
his indifference toward truth.

14 I behaved [halak] myself as
though he had been my friend [rea`] or brother ['ach]: I bowed down [shachach]
heavily [qadar], as one that mourneth ['abel] for his mother ['em]. KJV-Interlinear

14
I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who
laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning. ESV

The speaker, who we
already know as Jesus Christ, speaking through the written words of David, is
under the heavy weight of grief and sorrow.

He treats those who are contemptuous
against Him, as He would a close brother or family member or close relative,
with courtesy, kindness and affection.

But His feelings run
extremely deep, as one would behave when a mother is lost.

All around, people
rejected Jesus.

All around, people
ignored Jesus.

All around, people mocked
and ridiculed Jesus.

That was true back then
and it is true even today, even though people would argue against that notion.

But today, the world is
indifferent.

Today people do not abide
by the mandates of the Bible.

Today, people are more in-tuned
with their own pleasures or their own self-wisdom or their own self-defined
relationship with God, while ignoring the one and only way of achieving a true relationship
with God.

Back then, people mocked
openly and spit on Him. Today people
ignore His mandates, and ignore or redefine their responsibilities before God.

In this world we all have
responsibilities to God, to self, to spouses, to family, to work or business,
to society in general. But, these
responsibilities are ignored and deemed as unimportant. So is it a shock when life falls all around
you? Is there no recognition of
repercussions that will occur? Does
pretended ignorance or excuse justify ones behavior or attitude or beliefs?

13 But as for me, when they were sick [chalah], my clothing [l@buwsh] was
sackcloth [saq]: I humbled [`anah] my soul [nephesh] with
fasting [tsowm]; and my prayer [t@phillah] returned [shuwb] into mine
own bosom [cheyq]. KJV-Interlinear

13
But I, when they were sick— I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I
prayed with head bowed on my chest. ESV

The speaker now contrasts
his attitude and behavior, with that of the general public. Jesus Christ is the speaker, speaking through
the symbolic type, which is David, who wrote this psalm.

But the sentiments are
those of Christ. And of Christ not just
when He was here in this world as a man. But as Christ, since eternity past and
throughout history.

Whereas, people have a
negative attitude, and a, me first, attitude, God does not. God has a caring attitude, and never abandons
anyone.

While people have
harbored bitterness and negative thoughts, selfishness, and arrogance to name
just a few attitudes, God has demonstrated deep feelings of grief and compassion,
and grace, for those who not only suffer, but for all who suffer because of
their own short-comings.

Sackcloth is the dress of
mourning and grief. The bowed head is
the posture of humility and courtesy.

And even when Jesus was
being tormented and tortured and punished beyond reason, He still had the
peoples best interests in mind and felt poorly for all, and never Himself.

17 And [kai] the way [hodos] of peace [eirene] have [ginosko] they not [ou] known [ginosko]: KJV-Interlinear

17 and
the way of peace they have not known.”
ESV

Refusal or indifference toward a daily Bible study is
why people do not know peace, because they do not know doctrine, which is the
source of, and path to, peace.

Peace is the opposite of war, the opposite of
dissention. It is the inner tranquility
or inner contentment that is without worry, without stress, without
uncertainties.

The soul has all of these negatives when it lacks
truth. And the only way to possess truth
within ones soul is through a daily study, while in fellowship, and then the
repetition of that learning process day in and day out, throughout ones entire
life.

And not knowing peace, means that they, or you, or
anyone, have not decided to commit yourself to a daily study.

No one can be self-taught. No one can learn without
instruction. No one can learn or grow up
spiritually unless they pursue growth by means of Gods spiritual process.

Learning the words does not make spiritual growth. Bible doctrine has to be inculcated into the
soul, in order to become an integral and intimate part of you.

You can go out and buy things, but they are separate
and apart from you. Therefore they can
never become a component of your inner self.
They are external and will always be external.

But Bible doctrine incorporates inside of your soul
and fuses into your very essence. But,
you have to learn it correctly, and use it correctly. And those correctly’s mean by means of Gods
way, not your way.

Too many people try to take short-cuts and advance in
their spiritual life by side stepping Gods learning process. And short-cuts never work. Short-cuts are a fools, lazy man way, an
excuse to not study.

A daily study takes inner discipline and commitment,
and without that, there can be no success.

No success means no peace, and no peace means failure
and missing the boat entirely.

About Me

DailyBibleStudy.Org. My name is John Neely. I was born in 1951, and raised in SW Kansas. I graduated from Kansas University (go Jayhawks) and moved to Oregon where I have lived for over 25 years or so.

I have been a Bible student since I was very young and have kept meticulous notes from studies with many professors and various instructors over the years. I began writing the Bible Study everyday, primarily for my own family, and because there just weren't any sources of good daily studies to be found anywhere.

When others became aware of my daily study, my notes were requested so much so, that I sought a better way of communicating them to any and all who would be interested. Thus, DailyBibleStudy.Org was born.
